In short
- Choose oversized or relaxed fits: they forgive inaccuracy.
- Check the label on her favourite sweater or ask a friend or sister.
- One-size socks are 100% safe.
- Etsy offers 30-day returns.
Giving clothes and getting the size wrong is a common fear. With knitwear it is easier than you think.
5 tricks
- The label. Peek into her wardrobe: her favourite sweater’s size says it all.
- Accomplices. A friend, sister or mum will know.
- Photos. Compare her build with the model in the product photos (our model usually wears S/M).
- The eye test. If she wears clothes loosely, choose oversized.
- When in doubt, size down in oversized. The ease is already in the cut.
Shapes that forgive
| Shape | How forgiving |
|---|---|
| Oversized (Rosie, Graphite, Turquoise) | very |
| Relaxed cropped (Blush, Sky, Lavender) | quite |
| One-size socks | perfectly |
